FAQ
What is Elura?
Elura is the first ghrelin receptor agonist to be approved for use in cats providing a novel mechanism of action to address weight loss in cats with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The flavored, oral solution is safe to use daily and approved for long-term use to help cats with CKD gain and maintain weight.
How does Elura work?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to ongoing, progressive weight loss. In most cats, weight loss has already started by the time of diagnosis and accelerates as the disease progresses. Elura works by mimicking the naturally occurring hormone, ghrelin. Weight gain from Elura is thought to be due to a combination of increased food intake and metabolic changes.
Can Elura be mixed with food?
Elura should be administered directly into your cat’s mouth. Food should be offered 30 minutes after dosing. Mixing Elura with food has not been evaluated. If the cat will not allow oral dosing, discuss with their veterinarianon how to administer.
Does Elura have to be given on an empty stomach?
If the cat is routinely fed meals, Elura should be offered on an empty stomach. Food should be offered 30 minutes after administering the dose.
How long can my cat use Elura?
Chronic kidney disease leads to ongoing, progressive weight loss, and therefore Elura is intended for long-term use and should be dosed daily. Talk to your veterinarian about including Elura in your cat’s overall CKD treatment plan to gain and maintain weight.
Is Elura safe to use every day?
Yes! Elura is safe to use daily to help your cat with CKD gain and maintain weight.
Can I give Elura with other medications?
Talk to your veterinarian if you have any questions about your cat’s medications. There are no specific drug interactions known with Elura, but every patient is unique and your veterinarian can advise you on what is best for your cat.
Can Elura be given to a cat with food allergies?
There is no contraindication to using Elura in cats with food allergies, however you should talk to your veterinarian if you are concerned about your cat being able to tolerate Elura.
